Well, this is flat out amazing. Most waterproof cases for phones are bulky monstrosities that make it really difficult to use the device it’s protecting. Not the Case Marine. At just 0.25mm thick, you can actually use it with another case on top.
Samsung’s launching the Galaxy S III this week in London — or if it isn’t, it’s going to be looking at a lot of exceedingly annoyed Samsung fans the world over.
Possibly the worst kept secret in all of smartphone-dom is out of the bag, as Telstra’s just launched its page for the 4G version of the Galaxy S II.
As far as secret plans go, Telstra’s intentions regarding the Samsung Galaxy S II 4G haven’t been conducted in the most clandestine of fashions. No surprise, is it then, that we now have solid confirmation and pricing ahead of smartphone’s release in ten days’ time.
Samsung’s certainly not been backwards in making variants of the highly popular Galaxy S II. The latest is a ‘limited edition’ Bobbi Brown (no, not that one) Galaxy S II in rather vibrant pink.
We’ve seen the ‘official’ Galaxy S II ROM leak, and now it looks like the wait for those who don’t want to go down unofficial routes may not be too much longer, with Vodafone Australia confirming that it’s got the Android 4.0 code for the Galaxy S II from Samsung.
Late last year, Samsung said that it would be rolling out Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich to its Galaxy devices in the “first quarter” of 2012, starting with the Galaxy S II and Galaxy Note. A version of the official ICS ROM was leaked for the SGSII earlier this month, and now a more recent build appears to have hit forums.
Well yes, and no. These photos sent to Giz from an anonymous Telstra Shop employee certainly seem to back up this morning’s evidence of an incoming 4G-capable GS2. The catch? It’s an in-store dummy model — until, our tipster claims — it launches on or around the 28th alongside the Galaxy Note, Galaxy Tab 8.9 with 4G, Nokia Lumia 810 and Telstra’s 4G Prepaid USB modem. Fingers crossed.
Telstra has promised that it’ll release a variety of 4G devices this year — we’ve already had the Velocity 4G, and the 4G Ultimate WiFi is clearly coming soon. Now it appears even more likely that the next 4G device might be the gracefully ageing Samsung Galaxy S II.
